Linking Issue in IF Statement

Midnite8

In my SIL script, I am trying to link an issue but it is not working in my IF statement. Below is the part of my script:

if(contains(customfield_1234,"FieldName"))
{
string newKey = createIssue(key.project, "", "Task", "summary!",priority,"description","",DueDate,"",{},custom_field_mapping);
%newKey%.customfield_1234 = customfield_1234;
linkIssue(key, newKey, "Relates");
}

 I think the problem is that it is trying to link an issue that technically doesn't exist since it is wrapped in an IF statement?

Jira log error:

Cannot cast string >>Project_Name<< to an issue. Invalid issue key format. Are you running the script from create screen ?

Hi @Midnite8

Try printing the new key with a runnerlog and you will see if it's creating the issue or not.  You are correct with your assessment, so something happened with the create function, maybe one of the fields are missing or have not been configured.

Thanks
